The next release of Debian will not be accompanied by a non-free
section; there will be no more stable releases of the non-free
section. The Debian project will cease active support of the
non-free section. Clause 5 of the social contract is repealed.

Since this modifies the Social Contract, this requires a 3:1
majority to pass.

I propose that the Debian project resolve that:
Acknowledging that some of our users continue to require the use of
programs that don't conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines, we
reaffirm our commitment to providing the contrib and non-free areas in
our archive for packaged versions of such software, and to providing the
use of our infrastructure (such as our bug-tracking system and mailing
lists) to help with the maintenance of non-free software packages.

The Rationale
for the amendment is also available. This amendment only
requires a simple majority to pass.

Some
statistics
are being gathered about ballots and acknowledgements
periodically during the voting period. Additionally, the
list of
people
who have voted is available. The
tally
sheet is also present.
